The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband
Chapter 48 Buying People in the Human Market
Seeing the waiter serving tea to the two, Li Shao hurriedly said, "Please pour a glass of water. My husband is pregnant and can't drink tea."
"Li Fulang is pregnant? Congratulations!" Boss Liu said, "Change Li Fulang a cup of red date syrup, which is suitable for pregnant men to drink."
"Boss Liu is thoughtful. Look at how busy your restaurant is. Your business is really good."
"Thanks to you, this amber wine is really good. Now my Qingfeng Wine Shop is the most prosperous in the whole town. The caravans traveling to various provinces have also sent back news that our wine is selling especially well." Boss Liu said with a smile.
He earned a lot of money and face during this period. His parents and elder brother kept praising him, saying that he had found such a good wine that overshadowed Zuixian Pavilion.
"Boss Li, if you hadn't come today, I would have come to see you. From now on, you have to at least double the amount of wine you give me every month, otherwise there won't be enough to sell."
"This..." Although he was happy to earn more money, now that Ye Ge'er was pregnant, he wanted to spend more time with him.
To be honest, he was not very reassured if he told everyone the complete recipe.
I have been thinking about hiring someone else, but I haven't found the right one.
I thought Li Shao would be very happy to hear the news, but I didn't expect him to hesitate. Could it be that he saw that the business was booming now and felt that the price set before was too low, so he wanted to raise the price?
Boss Liu immediately became anxious. "Boss Li, what's wrong? Is there any difficulty? Our business is booming, and we have signed a contract. You can't..."
"Boss Liu, don't think too much. You need so much more alcohol now, and I don't have that many people here. Besides, Brother Ye is pregnant, so I can't leave him alone at home every day."
Zhao Ye hurriedly said, "Husband, you don't have to accompany me. Besides, I can also help with the work. Many girls and boys in the village are about to give birth and are still working in the fields."
There was no way she would push away the money that had come to her doorstep. Zhao Ye was afraid that her husband would earn less money to accompany her. She was so strong that she could even work in the fields, but Brother Li was always nervous.
"Didn't the doctor just say that I'm in very good health and strong now?"
Boss Liu also quickly chimed in, "Yes, Boss Li, there's no way you're going to push away money that's been delivered to your door."
"But Li Fulang, a pregnant man, does need people around him. Our industry is also special. We can't just hire anyone to make wine. Otherwise, if the recipe is leaked, I'll be sick to death."
After thinking for a while, he clapped his hands and said, "Got it. If you don't trust hiring people, you can buy people. Go to the Human Market and buy a few servants. Go home and train them well so that they can do any job. You don't have to worry about the wine recipe being leaked."
Li Shao couldn't help but be shocked. The trafficking of human beings was described so openly, worthy of the ancient times. However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and he didn't say anything like "human rights".
"Boss Liu, I don't know much about the human market, so I'd like to trouble you to tell me in detail."
"Haha, Boss Li, you're too polite. This is not a big deal."
"The human market I'm talking about is run by the imperial court. It's just west of the town. The people sold in the human market include those who were displaced by war, disaster, and forced to sell themselves to survive, those who were sold by their parents, relatives, or masters, and those whose families have officials who have been implicated. I suggest you don't buy the last type, as it can easily get you into trouble."
"If you like someone, after paying the money, you can get the contract and the contract certificate issued by the government, and his life will be in your hands. If the person you bought dares to run away, take the certificate to the government and the government will help arrest him."
Li Shao was stunned again after hearing this. This was an official transaction and the after-sales service was also good. However, when he thought about it, it was indeed the most suitable for his company to buy someone now.
The lives of the people he bought were in his own hands, so he naturally did not dare to reveal the wine recipe. Moreover, Ye Ge'er was pregnant now, and she would need someone to take care of her child after giving birth, so it would be nice to buy a girl and a boy to serve him.
Then he said, "In that case, buying a few servants would be the best option. Thank you, Boss Liu, for your advice. Otherwise, I would be in a lot of trouble."
Boss Liu waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Why thank you for our friendship? You haven't been to the Human City either. I have time now, so why don't I go with you two?"
If he quickly accompanied them to buy servants, he wouldn't delay the brewing of amber wine. Boss Liu secretly praised himself for his wit.
It is the end of the year and it is a busy time. Li Shao thought about asking Boss Liu to point out a direction and he could just take Ye Ge'er with him. Unexpectedly, Boss Liu directly asked to accompany him.
He naturally couldn't refuse the other person's kindness, so he quickly said, "This is a busy time, and Boss Liu specially accompanied my husband and me on this trip. It's really troublesome for you."
"Hahaha, it's a small matter. Why are we making trouble?" Boss Liu tried to get closer to them. "And you're always Boss Liu. Boss Li is too unfamiliar. I'm a few years older than you, so I'll just take the lead. You call me Brother Liu and I'll call you Brother Shao."
The two are now partners. After spending some time together, they found that Boss Liu is an upright person. Li Shao is naturally willing to get to know him. "Okay, then I won't be polite, Brother Liu."
"Hahaha, okay, Liu Xing, prepare the car. I want to go out for a trip with Shaodi and his wife." Boss Liu shouted with a smile.
On the way to the Human City, Zhao Ye felt dizzy. Why did his family have to buy people?
Zhao Ye, who grew up in the village, imagined that the best life he would have when he grew up was to eat meat every day and wear clothes without patches. He never thought that one day his family would even have servants.
When they arrived at the place, Li Shao carried him out of the carriage, and only when he saw the scene in front of him did he feel its reality.
From the outside, it looks no different from an ordinary market, except that the entire market has only one entrance and exit, and there are two strong men guarding the door.
Carriages were not allowed to enter and could only be parked outside. When we walked into the market, we found that it was relatively clean and tidy. There were not many buyers coming and going. Cages on both sides of the road contained people waiting to be selected.
There were men, women, young and old, and the people being sold were all wearing tattered coarse cloth clothes. Some were pale and thin, some were strong and healthy, and there were also some good-looking young girls and boys.
At this time, a matchmaker saw them and came up to them, smiling and saying, "Boss Liu, why did you come here in person? Are you here to buy a slave? I have a lot of good seedlings here."
Boss Liu raised his hand to signal the matchmaker to look at Li Shao and said, "I am here with my brother. This is Boss Li and his husband. Please introduce them to each other and pick the best one."
The matchmaker hurriedly said earnestly, "Hello, Mr. Li, hello, Mr. Li, since Mr. Liu has spoken, I will definitely recommend the best to you."
She thought that the Liu family was a famous wealthy family, and it was said that they had connections in the capital. It must be someone extraordinary to have Boss Liu accompany them here. She had to serve them well, and the money would come.
Then he said, "What kind of people do you want to choose? I have strong ones who can work, clever ones who can serve people, and smart ones who can run errands."
Li Shao thought for a moment and said, "I want two men who can do hard work, and a young girl or boy who must be honest and dedicated to serving my husband."
Seeing that he has been protecting the person in his arms since he arrived, the matchmaker thought that he seemed to be a loving husband, and she would have to get close to this husband later.
She complimented him, "This man is so handsome, no wonder your husband dotes on you so much, I, an old woman, am envious..."
Zhao Ye's face turned red after hearing the series of flattery, but Li Shao was very happy. He loved to hear anyone praise his brother Ye.
But seeing Ye Ge'er's awkward look, he smiled and said, "Okay, take us to see the young man first."
"Please come this way. The men here are all in their teens or twenties. They are as strong as bulls. If you buy them back to open up wasteland, they can be used as bulls."
When passing by the cage, many people shouted, "Master, please buy me. I can work. Please buy me."
Seeing this, the thugs nearby hit the cage hard with a stick and shouted, "Shut up, you are disturbing our distinguished guests. I will teach you a lesson later."
The people in the cage were so scared that they dared not make a sound. It seemed that they were often beaten by thugs.
